Meet the cast
MeasurePals is a little band of animal friends who love measuring the world — how long, what time, how much, how many. Inchy the inchworm is the hero; the cast are Inchy's friends who each take one everyday-math job. It's all hands-on, spoken, and just-for-fun.
Inchy
Length — an inchworm who measures by stepping its own body along, end to end.

How MeasurePals handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ Free — no ads, no in-app purchases
- ✅ No personal information collected from children — in line with COPPA (updated by the 2026 FTC amendments)
- ✅ No chat with strangers — play-together rooms use a short code and preset emotes, never typed messages
MeasurePals runs on ForgeKit — the open-source Swift Package Manager framework that powers every Spark & Anvil app. ForgeKit ensures consistent accessibility, COPPA compliance, and design language across the portfolio, so your kid's progress and preferences feel coherent across every app they touch.
